I've never noticed it, but they say extra flavoring may make the liquid require thinning. I've just had a lot of bad experiences with extra flavor, I got a coffee that was pure black and just tasted awful, my favorites had been blackberry and cola I started at 12mg so when I ordered them again I got 18mg nicotine with double flavor and neither one tastes as good as my regular flavoring 12 mg liquid. I ordered hypnotic mist from freedomsmokeusa in double flavor because they say its a light sweet flavor but it tastes very bland.

basically, I've never gotten double flavoring and been happy with it, I've found less nicotine with regular flavoring gives the best flavor, and it's not just that nicotine adds a peppery taste, but that the flavoring just seems weaker altogether. I guess I could try double flavor blackberry or cola in 12 mg, and then compare, but I'd rather just enjoy the flavor of 18-24mg liquid.

Heavy flavoring just makes it taste perfumey to me... haven't actually ordered any with extra flavoring because I've found if it's perfumey even the rare ones that I still like the taste of (like some caramels) it gives me headaches after while. I've been that way since I was a kid put in in the midst of a heavy smell for too long...instant headache. I couldn't keep scented erasers because of it.

I never order my juices with extra flavoring. The suppliers that I use have spent a great deal of time perfecting the flavors they sell, and adding anything extra just seems to screw up something that is already good. If you don't like a particular juice - don't buy it, and don't think that adding extras to it will make it better. You would be better served buying some DIY equipment and making your own juices.

I have had expirience with double flavor....It is very bad taste,....But I have found remedy.....Double taste is 15% flavor,regular is 10%,so I have added 30% of PG in my juice,and turned my flavor in haven vape....

Ha ha, how true. You are right on the % I usually make 2.5 bottles out of triple flavor and it is very flavorful, with some juices 3 is just right you just have to play with it.

I often order extra flavor... why? not because the juice is bad to begin with... but often the great flavor seems a little elusive, and i like strong flavors.

I like my flavor strong, and i thank my favorite juice suppliers that offer it...

as a counter to those that say, the juice is bad so it needs more, i say no, i order my favorite juices with extra flavor if avail... i already know it's great.

I find extra flavor rather important to me because every juice I get is 100% VG, which really kills flavor. But, whenever I order extra flavoring, it tastes much better.

Me too I am all VG not by choice, so the extra flavor options sure are nice when you find something you like.

If I go to a vendor's website and they have an option for extra flavor, double flavor, triple flavor, no sweetener, some sweetener, a lot of sweetener, VG/PG ratio, menthol/non, etc....I'm pretty much hitting the Back button. Don't put it all on me.

Just goes to show that there are 'different strokes for different folks'...I personally prefer having these options available to me so that I can customize an e-liquid to MY taste and preference...taste is, afterall, very subjective!

I love extra flavor. I like strong flavors in general, so it's just natural that I like them for vaping, too. I was quite surprised when I got a sample and it was fine with just the regular amount; I figure the higher nic it had must've made it taste stronger than it would at a lower nic level.

I hate it when a site assumes how strong I want a flavor and doesn't give me any options - to the point that I hit the Back button. I know that in restaurants, spices described as "strong" aren't usually anywhere near it. There, I can ask for more right on the spot if the normal amount doesn't do it.

On an ejuice site, there's no way to "call the waiter over" to fix something that's already been sent. Therefore, if I can't order extra flavor in an ejuice right away, I'm not going to order at all.

Hey guys!

I live in Finland and am dying to taste US-made ejuices. The problem is that due to customs regulations we're not allowed to order juices containing nicotine out side of the EU. There are only a few european vendors that sell US-juices, so not a lot of variety on that front.

So anyways. I figured that i'd order 0mg juices directly from the manufacturers with double flavour and mix the juice with nic myself.

The question is that, are there other quality vendors besides FSUSA and Bombay vapor that offer double/triple flavouring?

I really appriciate your help!
